Music For Youth 2014: Symphony Hall, July 8

The Music For Youth National Festival kicked off this morning with performances from hundreds of young people who've travelled from all over the UK. Naturally, Classic FM was there too to bring you the amazing pictures from a day of steel bands and traditional music - all from the Symphony Hall stage.
